Fact Finding Firefox crashing randomly when SAB is running

Post by sparker366 »

I have just had FF crash 3x's this morning when SAB was running. Now I have posted on the mozilla forums about this and they feel its an extension causing the issue. I ran for a day with no extensions enabled in Firefox and no crashes. Now I didn't run SAB at that time.

Now over the last several days FF has crashed numerous times while SAB has been running. I am not saying SAB is miss behaving and causing the issue. It just that its the common thing with the crashing of FF.

I guess what I am asking is has anyone else experienced this or may be able to shed some light on it.

Is there any way to get sab to open up in chrome by default and not FF. I have nzb's associated with SAB and if I download one and SAB is not running then it will auto launch in FF and there is the potential of a crash. I just had it crash 2 more times since writing this post and SAB was running. FF just crashes reopens its tabs and goes on its way. I will have to click on the tabs to get them going again but if I am afk and downloading a file or something within FF that could cause an issue with the download not sure. Again I am not saying SAB is at fault. Its the only common thing right now.

I use FF as my default browser all the time. I use chrome only when FF has issues with sites or I just don't feel like using FF.

I use Firefox all of the time.
It does crash very occasionally, but I've never been able to associate it with SABnzbd.
I have quite a few add-ons: NoScript, AdBlocker, GreaseMonkey, Firebug, nzbdStatus, JsonView, 1Password.
SABnzbd always starts up the system's default browser, because that's the only thing
that can be done without getting into all sorts of nasty system dependencies.

Diagnosing FF add-ons is usually done by disabling them all and switching them on, one at a time.

Well I got rid of FF. I have about 10 addons and there was no rhyme or reason to crash and doing the disabling of the addons then adding one back at a time would have taken forever. So issue solved FF went bye bye. On chrome now.
